Its great to hear truthful experiences., Your very admirable for not letting the money-side/aspect outweigh your beliefs, not everyone has that in them. Its so obvious(I guess not to the majority) that these girls in the shows are clearly NOT EATING, especially with Tyra now that she’s not modelling and has “made it” and doesnt need the $$$$$ from fashion shows anymore shes eating now and is substantially large now. It so sad that these girls continue to starve themselves for the sake of fashion! Its such an immoral, SHALLOW business, but continues to bring in billions!!!! And I guess all the attention and hoo-ray these girls get makes it all worth(NOT EATING)it., SO SAD!!!! Can we say self-esteem issues!!! Not only for the girls, but the designers as well.

I have a morbid sense of humor, and that made me laugh. I wouldn’t imagine too many young girls troll the museums blogs

I dont know why these “fashion experts” insist on booking models who do not look like women. if you sell womens clothes they should hire models who look like women. Hips, Boobs, ass and all. that is what makes women so sexy. Curves are amazing. Thank you for all that you do. My boyfriend and i LOVE watching you on tv and seeing you in the magazines. <3

The question lies, when will you have your own column? Autobiography? I am also intruiged by your business sense and ingenuity. I am hip to you trying to branch off of myspace and getting people to navigate to your OWN site, your OWN world, your OWN space. I think that this is the beginning of something great for you, dahling. This may be the year of Adrianne Curry, if you keep playing all your aces right. I think one of the reasons why we “mesh” so well is because i aspire to HAVE your smarts and work ethic, wisdom of the industry. Your tenacity, and determination, realness. Some girls are aspiring to BE you, to befriend your husband and family members in effort to be in your inner circle. Yes, it is in who you know, and who you network with but starfuckers/users and roaches are synonymous. These girls didnt grow up crying into a magazine, crying when they watch award shows or fashion shows, dying to in or at one. I have NEVER had a question of what i wanted to be when i grew up. These girls dont realize that if you dont have a real TALENT a real PASSION for this industry, then you will be chewed up and spit out and be shunned. The line to be on “reality t.v. is long, someone looking for that “big break”. but if there is no sensiblity, or substance behind someone being a reality t.v. star, then how long would people truly remember you, and what for? Being tossed around by a Bonaduce, like Johnny Fairplay? Being the whore from the Real World house who slept with a guy AND a girl on the first night like Traschelle? Being the girl from American Idol with a drug problem like Jessica? The industry is REAL and not the glossed over one of television, and mags.
I admire you for telling all like it is. The first comment you ever sent me told me to love the weight i am and you call bullshit on anyone who says i cant eat in order to make it big.

I will NEVER be a size 2. But there are more slashes that await my career as a model/actress. i love fashion, but im not killing myself for it. Im not having foot surgery because i feel the need to walk around New York in Louboutins everyday, all day to look hot. I also had a hand-me-down life, im no label whore. Im not buying a $1000.00 bag, when i can buy 5 really cute ones. But i will work very hard to make my own mark in fashion, with my name on the lable, the factory AND the plant.

I think shows like project runway really show people how much vision, creativity, skill and work goes into making garments. And it’s much more exciting that watching someone paint. And women’s fashion is the BEST. Men’s fashion BORING.

I hope I come back as a tall chick with a bangin’ body in my next life. But I guess I’ll just settle for being tall gay guy with a bangin’ body this time around. lol:-)

I know I don’t have them down and it seems to be a work in progress…….. I can only try to be true to myself and try to better myself. Wish I just had more options..

Thanks Adrianne! Fab BLOG! This one really got to me! ;)

Perhaps, you could invent your own modeling/acting/theatre agency to take young ladies into some world where people are more normal and wear normal clothing. Not all size 2 ????? Or, maybe an acting school to help bring out the “happy” feelings of girls who “don’t cut it”…..I can see the show now..title..”Don’t cut it, make it”…some will be fantastic at fashion design, acting, technical, stage makeup, special effects, costumes…..drama….what do you think?
